      Retinal single-layer analysis with optical coherence tomography (OCT) in schizophrenia spectrum disorder

      Background Volume reductions in brain structures of patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD) have repeatedly been found in voxel-based morphometry MRI studies. Hence, an underlying neurodegenerative etiological component of SSD is currently being discussed. In recent years, the imaging method of optical coherence tomography (OCT) has shown its potential in evaluating structural changes in the retina in patients with confirmed neurodegenerative disorders, providing a window into the brain. Methods Twenty-six patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and 23 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were examined with the Heidelberg Spectralis OCT system to derive a single-layer analysis of both retinas.

      Optical computing optical coherence tomography with conjugate suppression by dispersion

      For all imaging techniques, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), fast imaging speed is always of high demand. Optical computing OCT ( OC2T) has achieved ultrahigh speed for real time 3D imaging without post data processing, but its spatial resolution is lowered down due to an imperfect Fourier transformation in the optical computing process. In this Letter, we illustrate the theory of OC2T and prove that the dispersion imbalance between reference arm and sample arm may be introduced to improve the resolution. Furthermore, this novel OC2T technique can also enable a conjugate restrained OCT imaging without any data processing, achieving ∼ 2 ...

      Effect of solvent lamination on roll-to-roll hot-embossed PMMA microchannels evaluated by optical coherence tomography

      Manufacturing of microfluidic based diagnostic devices requires small tolerances and uniform quality to guarantee reliable and repeatable test results. This work describes characterization of morphological changes that occur to a hot embossed PMMA microfluidic channel after solvent lamination with a PMMA lid. A non-contact cross-sectional analysis of the lidded microfluidic device was performed by optical coherence tomography (OCT). The solvent induced morphology change led to a porous structure in bottom corners of hot-embossed channels, which allowed a fluid to absorb in the material. The measurements of solvent diffusion showed faster diffusion rate at the corners of the channel, in which ...

      Spatiotemporal optical coherence (STOC) manipulation suppresses coherent cross-talk in full-field swept-source optical coherence tomography

      Full-field swept-source optical coherence tomography (FF-SS-OCT) provides high-resolution depth-resolved images of the sample by parallel Fourier-domain interferometric detection. Although FF-SS-OCT implements high-speed volumetric imaging, it suffers from the cross-talk-generated noise from spatially coherent lasers. This noise reduces the transversal image resolution, which in turn, limits the wide adaptation of FF-SS-OCT for practical and clinical applications. Here, we introduce the novel spatiotemporal optical coherence (STOC) manipulation. In STOC the time-varying inhomogeneous phase masks are used to modulate the light incident on the sample. By properly adjusting these phase masks, the spatial coherence can be reduced. Consequently, the cross-talk-generated noise is suppressed ...

      Novel approach for weld depth determination using optical coherence tomography measurement in laser deep penetration welding of aluminum and steel

      The optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a measuring technology which is well-established in medical engineering since the early 1990s. More recently, the technology found its way into laser materials processing where it is used for seam tracking and inspection and also for monitoring and control of deep-penetration laser welding. In this work, deep-penetration laser welding of aluminum and steel using an OCT-system for in-process monitoring of the weld depth was investigated. It is shown that statistical data processing is mandatory to extract the actual keyhole depth. Therefore, two different measures, percentile filtering and considering the frequency distribution of the OCT-data ...

      Simultaneous denoising and super-resolution of optical coherence tomography images based on generative adversarial network

      Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become a very promising diagnostic method in clinical practice, especially for ophthalmic diseases. However, speckle noise and low sampling rates have intensively reduced the quality of OCT images, which prevents the development of OCT-assisted diagnosis. Therefore, we propose a generative adversarial network-based approach (named SDSR-OCT) to simultaneously denoise and super-resolve OCT images. Moreover, we trained three different super-resolution models with different upscale factors (2× , 4× and 8×) to adapt to the corresponding downsampling rates. We also quantitatively and qualitatively compared our proposed method with some well-known algorithms. The experimental results show that our approach can ...

    10. Among the developments in the past 2 years, OCTA is by far the most important...Clinically, OCTA represents a paradigm change in angiography. It requires no dye injection, is faster (no waiting for dye transit), noninvasive, cheaper, and it can be used at every visit for screening and monitoring. OCTA will be used a lot more that fluorescein angiography ever was.
